This sporty looking mens wrist watch has an appealing design, but has in-built hidden extras that really make it special. Designed into the face is an almost invisible high definition spy camera and inside the body of the watch is a video and audio recording system that has an excellent storage capacity of 16GB, which is more than ample to hold hours of recorded video footage (with audio) taken by the covert spy camera and/or still images.
The Sports Spy Watch can be worn on the wrist for almost any occasion. make secret video/audio recordings of meetings, lectures, to back up your integrity or maybe just for fun. It is so simple to use and is supplied with a special USB connection cable so that you can offload recorded and stored files onto your computer. It is nearly impossible to see the tiny camera lens in the watch face, so nobody will ever suspect its capabilities. The USB connection port is hidden by a removable control button (screw on/off), so again the covert design is well thought out.
If this wasn’t enough, unbelievably, this unit also has infrared capability, so video recordings can, if required, be obtain in very low light conditions. The infrared (IR) LEDs are also designed discreetly into the watch face. They use IR technology that is not within the human eye light detection spectrum, meaning that recording in the darkness can be achieved with total discretion. Finally the microphone (one of the buttons) can be capped to enable it to be used underwater if so desired.

FAQ:
Does the Watch function still work in the normal way?
Yes, the time function operates in the normal manner and is powered from a separate battery to that used for the spy camera system.
Has the watch got motion detection facility?
No, this device is activated manually only for both taking video and snapping still images.
Can the Watch Camera record just audio files with no video content?
No, this watch is specifically for video (with audio) and still image taking. If you want a pure audio recording device then please see suitable products in our Voice Recorders section.
How do I know whether the camera has got my surveillance subject in view?
The camera lens fitted, although only a pinhole, has a fairly wide angle lens which means that by simply pointing the watch face at the video subject will allow you to capture within the frame.
Won’t the camera take the image the wrong way up?
No, the camera is configured so as it will be the right way up when the watch face is upside down, so imagine having your arms folded facing the subject, and then the camera will be taking video the correct way up.
Is the footage taken by the camera system of high enough quality to identify somebody?
Absolutely! The imagery is very clear and easily good enough to identify somebody when they are near to the camera when the footage is obtained.
I have seen cameras before claiming to be HD quality. Is this for real or just upscaled lower quality imagery?
The video footage is not upscaled on this device. The video on this unit plays back full screen size in full HD.
